Star Wars – Darth Vader – Imperial Machine | Comics

Before he became the fearsome Dark Lord of Sith, Darth Vader took a journey for his legendary red lightsaber.

Right after his transforming into Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker was defeated and his disfigured body was left on volcanic planet Mustafar by his former master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Darth Sidious then came to retrieve his burnt body and placed it in a cybernetic suit to save his life at that moment.

As he gained consciousness, Vader learns that his wife Padmé is no more and now he is left with pain and rage in his life. Palpatine asks him whether he wants to live with this pain or just simply die and Anakin expresses his wish to live only to be struck by his masters' powerful Force-lightning.

Palpatine asks Vader to defend himself with his lightsaber but he states that he has already lost it on Mustafar. After warning him never to touch him again with the Force, Sidious suggests that Vader let go of his personal vendetta and peruse serving Galactic Empire for greater good.

He explains to his apprentice how both Jedi and Sith have different color of lightsaber and how to turn one into red. He drops Lord Vader on a desert planet of Mid Rim to set on a journey to find out a Jedi and take his lightsaber from him.

Darth Vader goes looking for his ship to reclaim it from a group of pirates that was prepared for him by The Emperor and was stolen earlier. He visits a nearby Jedi outpost on Brighthome for some information he needed to start his quest, which was guarded by clone troopers.

He killed them all for blowing off some steam instead of providing them security codes to pass. Vader looked for any Jedi who have taken the Barash vow before Order 66 and found it in Jedi Master Kirak Infil'a who is residing on river moon of Al'doleem.

Master Infil'a has already sensed that a Dark Lord of Sith is coming for him and as soon as Vader sees him, he unsuccessfully tries to Force choke Infil'a, who threw him off balance by hitting him with a Force blast in counter attack. The Jedi invited The Dark Lord on top of mountain before unleashing currents of a river flowing on him.

Cutting a way through using the Force, Vader conquered all obstacles thrown at him and eventually confronted the seasoned Jedi Master in a brief battle. He is quickly defeated by Master Infil'a and then gets thrown from top of the mountain.

Vader reassembles his cybernetic body with scrap parts using the Force to face Master Infil'a in a final battle this time. Thinking the Sith Lord has finally perished, Infil'a was preparing to go on a hunt for Vader's true master to put an end to Sith but then he realized that his enemy has survived somehow.

Now, Vader challenges the Jedi Master once again and fought him with ruthless efficiency. Once he is done, he still has to bleed the kyber crystal he took out from the fallen Jedi's lightsaber to complete his weapon for a few more tasks left to complete for his master.

Star Wars – Darth Vader – Imperial Machine

The second monthly ongoing volume of Darth Vader starts publishing from Marvel Comics in 2017 and first story arc of the series is titled "Imperial Machine". The story contains issues #01-06 from Star Wars spin-off series featuring Vader and is set almost immediately after the events of "Revenge of the Sith".

Renowned comic-book writer Charles Soule (Death of Wolverine – The Logan Legacy, Death of Wolverine – The Weapon X Program) was tasked to form this plot and he was aided by artist Giuseppe Camuncoli (Amazing Spider-Man, Superior Spider-Man) to portray his visions.

The Lost Jedi Master

"Imperial Machine" features a self-exiled Jedi Master named Kirak Infil'a, whom many has never even heard of and he is the first Jedi that Vader has fought right after his body was encased in a cybernetic suit. Also, this story explores an interesting theme on colors of the lightsaber that Jedi or Sith wields.

When Vader was trying to corrupt kyber crystal within the lightsaber he took from Infil'a, it showed him a different reality of what could've actually happened but The Dark Lord of Sith refuses that idea and sticked to his vengeful path.

Venom – Land Before Crime | Comics

Eddie Brock is back again with his Venom symbiote in time to save New York from Stegron, The Dinosaur Man!

Long after being apart from each other, Eddie Brock and his symbiote reunites as Venom once again. He wakes up from a nightmare sensing an urge to go out slinging and sees an armed robbery in progress that he stopped effortlessly. When police arrive, Brock flees from scene and kept wondering about a sudden temper of his partner.

Looking for answer, he ends up walking into Our Lady of Saints Church where they met at first years ago. After scaring off two goons away from there, Eddie talks to a priest about his faith to God and a recently resumed relationship from past. He tries to resonate with Brock in a way that agitates his symbiote, forcing him to leave abruptly.

Walking on street, he was having concern over how Venom symbiote is behaving lately and gets attacked by Scorpion. Upon learning that Eddie is back in business, Mac Gargan came after him to settle some old scores. Though he came fully prepared with flame and sonic-based weapons, Brock easily took him down using his fear of symbiotes.

Passing out from exhaustion of fight, Eddie wakes up in the church only to find a near-lifeless body of the priest he talked to earlier. His symbiote remarks that anyone trying to come between them will face the same fate. Lamenting at this, Brock took the priest to hospital and senses something is seriously wrong with his partner.

Venom – Land Before Crime | Comics

He decides to fix whatever causing his other to behave strangely and wonders if it has hurt more people when he was unconscious. In a room next to his, Eddie hears a horrified student explaining to a doctor how his friends were all torn apart by a monster with fangs in a sewer near Our Lady of Saints Church, leading him to investigate.

Though Klyntar assures that it was not involved in this recent attack, he refuses to believe that due to its outbursts lately. While examining bodies into the sewers, Brock is ambushed by a humanoid creature that looks like a dinosaur that he defeats by turning into Venom after a heavy brawl, he noticed "ALCHEMAX" tattooed on its chest.

He then pays Alchemax C.E.O. Liz Allen a visit at her office, bringing that monster from sewers that ate a couple of civilians. She asks whether he wants hush money since he brought it here but he asks for her help instead. Liz calls in Dr. Steven to help with his issues and struck a deal with Eddie to capture more of her escaped monster.

She reveals to him that Alchemax took a government contract to research on Stegron the Dinosaur Man for regenerative technologies, since Dr. Connors' formula was unavailable to them. However, he escaped with a bunch of test subjects that she wants back to clear government's mess in exchange for a cure to his symbiote.

Lurking around in sewers, Venom eventually finds a way to Stegron's lair inside a cavern, where he has amassed an army of dinosaur-hybrids and assumed in role of their god. As Brock was vying his options to come up with a plan, he is blasted off by a sonic screech of a nearby monster and his body is quickly seized by dinosaur-men.

Klyntar wakes him up in the middle of a fight against an army of dinosaurs but it quickly gets overpowered. Stegron is planning to transform him to include within his dinosaur society but Eddie manages to burst out of captivity. Entire cave gets flooded in moments and he swam outside to safety, coming across Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.

She introduces herself and her red scaled theropod companion to Venom who came following a strange scent from sewers. He gets an experimental treatment from Alchemax as a cure for his symbiote and returns to underground to find Moon Girl planning an attack on dinosaur-men but ended up losing her friend Devil Dinosaur to Stegron.

Eddie Brock had a reunion with his symbiote after long in current ongoing run of a re-launched Venom comic-book series from Marvel Comics.

His face is not disfigured anymore and he became a good guy, which is not working well for his married life.

DP points out that he don’t remember stabbing Gibbon and then a sword hits Squid on the head. Bearboarguy goes down too and Ox is stabbed with three swords on his back.

Deadpool was successful in saving White Rabbit when she was being pulled upward by the neck.

He called Patient Zero over to their clubhouse after figuring out he has a vendetta on Dee Pee. The villain accepts that he created her to destroy them but she wanted to team-up with the heroes.

Itsy Bitsy wants to fight crime together with her "Daddies" and came to convince them that she is on their side but got rejected nonetheless for her violent methods.

Since she posses both of their powers, Deadpool and Spidey was having a tough time dealing with her even after pushing to their limits.

There they came across a Dragon, Glarkomen Ogres, Moloids, Witch Queen Morgan le Fay herself and Sl'Ur'Boroth, The Forgotten during their short stay. Dee Pee and Webs even fought for the freedom of Ogres before returning back to Earth. Away for a few hours, the duo returns to find out more than a dozen criminal corpses webbed up by Itsy Bitsy.

Ever since Peter Parker returned from afterlife, Webhead has been feeling a bit empty inside and no matter whatever he does, there will always be something missing. Tangling down with this psychotic killer chick that kills in their names, they have been failing each time they tried to stop her when she goes on a killing spree of "Bad Guys".

Wade believes they need to level up and calls in Nightcrawler for some sword fighting lessons. Arguing about whether to kill her led to a point where Wallcrawler decapitated and sends him to Hell. Shiklah arranged a meeting for him with Patient Zero while Demon Bamfs were sewing his head back to his body and Spidey goes to take down Itsy Bitsy.

It took all of their effort just to defeat Terrax and considerable amount of property damage. Upon defeating him with some solid team-work, Kitty talks to civilians present at scene about earning their trust back again and develop a positive image for their race but no one is ready to listen to them.

Back at home, On top of that, they received an invoice from New York's City Register for a lease on Central Park, where Xavier Institute is currently situated. Ororo and Kurt argue about whether situation has improved for them or not, while Rachel practices in Danger Room alongside Armor and Rockslide.

She takes Wilson downstairs beating the living crap out of his body by keep pummeling and making a bloodier mess.

Though Shmidt is unable to get a read of his mind or control it because of its chaotic nature, he assures that he can prolong the pain Wade is experiencing right now. As Skull enjoys his dessert, DP slowly elaborates his plan to come here and then finally reveals his secret weapon out of a bag that scares the living sunshine out of the villain.
